I think the official line is that you should not upgrade via the IDE route.
If you want extra hard discs, or larger capacity, you should (officially)
opt for SCSI.

This is not the case with the A3010, where Acorn seems to use the Ian 
Copestake IDE upgrade in its exhibition stock of machines.

That ADFSbuffers problem has been fixed between the two versions of RISC OS 3.
Unfortunately another one has reared its head in 3.10, but I believe it only
has an effect on 1Mb machines.
